TELECOMMUTING

Can't start a home business? Maybe you can telecommute from home for your current employer. Join the tens of millions who tele-work. Learn how to set yourself up to telecommute and work with the outside office.

In the early days of cell phones, they were used merely for talking. Today, cell phones have a myriad of other applications. For many people, their cell phone is their daily organizer, music player, camera, GPS system, and news and weather device. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In the very near future, cell phones will also be people’s banks, credit card, keys, remote control, and video conferencing platform, just to name a few.

For those who work from home, some new office equipment can really help increase their productivity. The Belkin N+ Wireless Router and N+ Wireless USB Adapter allow you to browse the Internet without having to run long cables from your modem to your laptop. It takes the Internet signal from your modem and broadcasts it wirelessly so that all the computers in your house can get online, easily.

With a little planning and a lot less money than you think, you can begin building your Home Office infrastructure while sneaking it around the day job. Let’s see how.

One resolution I made that I was able to keep was to telecommute at least 30% of the time.
